Data Note

Population projections for 2025 are based on U.S. Census Bureau county estimates from 2020 to 2024. UPK enrollment data are reported at the supervisory union (SU) level. When an SU spans more than one county, enrolled students are distributed across counties in proportion to each town’s total population.
